Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a Grade II* listed building located in Sancton, East Yorkshire. The church features a 15th-century west tower, while the rest of the structure was rebuilt between 1869 and 1871 using older materials by architects J B and W Atkinson. The west tower is constructed of ashlar stone, with coursed squared rubble used elsewhere, and it has a graduated slate roof. The church is designed in the Gothic Revival style.

The octagonal west tower has two stages and is supported by diagonal buttresses with offsets and crocketed pinnacles. The lower stage features a pointed three-light west window with Perpendicular tracery, topped by a trefoil-headed lancet under a hoodmould. The belfry openings are two-light pointed windows with Perpendicular tracery, including double transoms, also under hoodmoulds. The tower is crowned with a crenellated parapet and has short flying buttresses with pinnacles.

The nave consists of a four-bay layout with a south porch and two two-light pointed windows with Perpendicular tracery under hoodmoulds on the west side, and a single lancet window on the east. The south door is pointed with a continuous double chamfer and bar stops, and the gable is raised and coped with a cross finial.

The chancel has a priests' door with a round-headed arch set on double quirk-and-hollow chamfer imposts at the center, along with lancet windows on the east and west sides. There is also a low side lancet on the west. The east gable is banded and features a stepped scroll-moulded string, with a triple stepped lancet under a hoodmould with foliated stops and a quatrefoil window above. This gable is also coped and topped with a cross finial.

Inside, the pointed double-chamfered tower arch dies into responds that incorporate re-used 12th-century chevrons. The 15th-century font is octagonal, resting on a moulded base and supporting an octagonal basin adorned with shields and fleurons.
